The Patriots claimed wide receiver Matt Landers off waivers from the Browns on Tuesday.

In a corresponding roster move, they placed rookie wide receiver JaQuae Jackson on injured reserve. Jackson was carted off of the field with an apparent knee injury in Thursday’s preseason game against the Eagles.

Landers, 25, entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Arkansas with the Seahawks. He’s also spent time with the Panthers and in the UFL.
